Rúben Dias suffered a new muscular mishap just two and a half weeks after reappearing after recovering from an injury that prevented him from coming off the pitch between March 1 and April 20. Today, Fernandinho, 37, will take his place at central defense and could continue to cover his absence before leaving City at the end of the season.
However, Guardiola pointed out that “in this situation there is no problem. If Rodri has to play in this position, there is no problem, or otherwise someone from the quarry.”
